"Mansfield is a town in Cattaraugus County, New York. The population was 800 at the 2000 census. The name was thought to be that of a noble family in England.
The area was first settled around 1817. The Town of Mansfield was formed in 1830 from part of the Town of Little Valley. The town was first called "Cecilius." The name "Mansfield" was adopted in 1831."
